Hey Andrey, Zach, So I'm back from my vacation, and have found that the Android team has released a -compat tree for their 3.4 kernel. Basically this tree re-adds some items like earlysuspend and classic wakelocks in order to provide better compatibility with old (and by old, I really mean current as far as we see - so ICS and earlier) Android userland.
Since we're still shipping ICS, and have no access to whatever the Android 5.0 userland will be, it seems merging in the -compat tree would make sense.
However, I know Tixy and others have already tried to address the lack of earlysuspend in the android-3.3+ kernels, so I wanted to double check that this wouldn't cause additional pain (since those adjustments might need to be reverted).
So I just wanted to check first with folks to make sure there are no objections to merging in the -compat changes, and that the timing of merging in these changes isn't problematic (I can happily hold off till this months release is done, so we don't risk any last minute gotchas).
Yeah, lets hold off. I'll get it on the schedule for next month. Sound good everyone?
thanks -john
